the hourglass and the motor/engine

Short picture version first:

Time/saturn/chronos/hourglass.
Gravity distributes the weight - turn it upside down and the sand falls, the air "rises" or is displaced.
If you don't turn it upside down, you only see one force dominating - gravity/earth/inertia/tamas.

I've used this image before. Here we see the hourglass in the volatile/air serpent
and the fixed/sand serpent; also in the intertwined triangles, fractally too.
Here mercury, abyssum duplicatum, is manifested by rotation of the volatile and fixed;
by turning the hourglass in a constant rotation/fire.

Ha! This could have come from my blog:

Anyway, back to the hourglass/engine - a simple motor:

Notice the electric and magnetic polarities which cause the spin.
Same as fixed and volatile cause it. I am now showing/associating the hourglass
with the spinning copper coil between electric and magnetic forces,
aka: opposite poles. This is also the effect of rotating the elements to manifest the QE.
But QE/quintessence is actually free energy. What is "free" energy? IMO, it is love
compared to strife which is not free or sustaining, yet strife is necessary for opposites
to exist. But when opposites see that they are complimentary and not opposed/conflicting, per se,
then they work together, sharing, giving towards the mutual benefit of the whole.
Such giving/sacrifice is easy.

Matthew 11:28
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Notice the four elements around him. Notice the vesica pisces (fish/mercury/mediator/christ/vishnu, etc.)
is the abyssum duplicatum formed by joining two circles:

I don't know about the numbers, but I agree that the vesica pisces is the gate.
9 is significant, but so is 6.
9 = moon
6 = sun
69 = hourglass/engine/motor/circulation - not too wet, not too dry;
extremes kill the work.

Extremes make the hourglass/motor wobble instead of spinning smoothly.
Wobbles are fine, if you like; but they consume more energy/effort.
Like in relationships - two dreams at war, or two sharing a common dream... different experiences.

Here, the christ/QE and the four elements are shown with symbols at feet and halo which
are very similar if not the same as those in Golden Chain of Homer:

So, myself and others have noticed a "vortex" which manifests when the hourglass
is spinning in sharing/love mode, without a winner/loser, without anyone dominating too much,
but instead sharing, passing the torch, taking turns listening and talking, switching positions/gravity
of "teacher" and "student", etc... This is flipping the hourglass. What was full is now empty, etc.
This is electric and magnetic, agent and patient, manifesting a vesica pisces/fish/mercury/spirit...
But you have to keep switching, keep fluid, avoid extemes. And you can definitely feel when
an extreme slows down the engine/vortex and the "flavor" is lost. And you can bring "flavor" back
with intention.
The speed/frequency at which the vortex spins manifests the "level" of consciousness, or wavelength,
as seen in the Ouroboros pic above merged with the sizes of things in the universe, and as manifested
in the chakras/planets and energy bodies:

Enough for now. This took longer than expected.
But was more explanatory than I originally intended.

"Travel East until you are Traveling west, then travel west until you are traveling east, and repeat in doing this you shall learn the mysteries of the world which is a reflection of the universe, therefore years shall know the mysteries of all!"

I love this post. If you want to apply these principals in the lab, I believe its best to work with Rodin coils and ferrocells. This shows us the 'shape of magnetic flux and allows us improved ways to create this hourglass, which is more stable than regular motors.

As I was reading your post, I had a strange thought. Could Saturn relate directly to the atomic 'p' orbital, which is also an hourglass, and could this mean that other planets relate directly to other atomic orbitals? Just a thought.

I believe there are other shapes related to the concept of this hourglass motion mechanics. For instance, their are ways to wire transformers and Rodin coils also, that create an effect of over unity, literally generating more power than what is provided, I believe that this concept could even be applied in glassware design that allowed for complex refluxes.

Finally, water, is magnetic, it does respond to magnetic and electric fields. It surprises me that we don't hear more about people experimenting on their alchemical medicines with magnetics ect..
